They ring me up all the time, loads of times a day actually, but never bother to leave a voicemail. Proper spam calls.

Didn’t pick up, and they didn’t leave a voicemail either.

Got a notification from my phone company saying it was a scam.

Not really sure why I got a call from this number.

As soon as I answered the call, they hung up straight away. After seeing what others said about this number, I've decided to block it too.

They rang me but never left any message, so I’m pretty sure it was just one of those scam calls.

I got a call from a man claiming he was with EE trying to sell me a discount on my monthly plan. I told him I was satisfied with my current network, and he was quite polite about it, just thanked me and ended the call. It didn’t show up as spam or anything, which was a bit surprising.

There was a pause before he said, "I'm Mike" – how did he know my name? I just hung up straight away, seemed like a total scam.

Got a call from some dodgy person claiming to be from my TV provider, asking if we needed their repair service. Pretty sure it was a scam.

Got a call from this number for no apparent reason. I picked up but there was silence on the other end. Feels like it could be some kind of scam, maybe the system didn’t connect me to an actual person or something.

There was loads of noise in the background and a man with an Asian accent called asking whether I owned the house. I didn’t really answer, then he wanted to talk to someone with a last name that sounded Eastern European. I said no and then the call got cut off.

Got a call from an unfamiliar number, it buzzed twice and then cut off without leaving any voicemail.

Got a text saying I had a missed call and asking me to ring back on a certain number. After checking out the comments here first, I’m pretty sure it was some sort of spam trying to get me to call. So, I just flagged it as spam with my network and got rid of the message straight away.

They stayed on the line quietly for like half a minute, probably waiting for someone to pick up, but didn’t say a word or leave any message on my ansafone. Totally feels like a scam call.

This number rang me a few times, I left a message but all you hear is silence for about 13 seconds before it cuts off. Definitely an automated thing. If you pick up or call back, it hooks you up with a scammer. Best to just steer clear of it.

I picked up the phone and there was nothing for a few seconds, then some bloke just said "Goodbye" and ended the call. Honestly, feels like they’re either trying to be courteous or hoping you’ll call them back and get charged for it.

As soon as I picked up, the call just ended, no one said a word. Think it's from some call centre, even though I'm signed up with the TPS, for what that's worth. I often get calls about energy deals and stuff like that, so I'm guessing it's probably one of those again.

Received a voicemail from someone claiming to be Vodafone, warning me my service might get cut off. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

Dodgy call, total con artist. You can’t trust them at all. Proper scammer through and through.
